[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

The writers apparently had a chat with the devs behind the game Star Trek Online some time ago, concern it's lore/history. Since that game takes place 30 or so years after the destruction of Romulus established in the 2009 film... If they follow or borrow some elements from it. In that game the Borg was split into two factions, the Collective, and Cooperative (disconnected/freed borg). Hugh appears in that game as part of the Cooperative...Seven of Nine understandably aids the Cooperative from time to time. Also, in that game, the Romulans formed a new democratic government, although survivors were scattered around in flotillas as well as colony worlds. The Tal Shiar were more a separate faction that they disavowed. The Tal Shiar experimented with Borg tech. So it wouldn't surprise me if the facility we see in the trailer is some sort of Tal Shiar facility, and maybe Isa Briones' character is some kind of test subject that is key to the Tal Shiar taking over the borg. Of course. They could throw all of that out of the window and go in a completely different direction. Either way, I'm excited.

Thank you for filming this! Constructive suggestion, for the future if you shoot in 4K wide, in the editing room you can then cut to individual people talking easier (if you are delivering to a 1080p format such as youtube). This makes it so that when they are speaking, you don't need to pan around in person, and we can see who is speaking for the various bits of dialogue... Another option to get the same result would be to have two cameras on the crowd. One as a wide safety and the other keying into the various bits of dialogue. Other than that.

[@Josh_Fredman]

Was not expecting Jeri Ryan to be involved and I am actually really excited for it. I resented her when she came on Voyager because she was replacing a character I liked (Kes) and she was clearly just there to be a sex object. But she turned out to be the best actor on the whole cast, even better than Picardo and Mulgrew. And now that she's 50 and won't have to be in a catsuit anymore, we can really focus on the character. There aren't many Trek alumni who can stand next to Patrick Stewart and give a truly convincing performance, but she is close to the top of the list. I think I would rank only Avery Brooks and Michelle Yeoh higher.

[@ge2719]

except a lot of actors are nothing like their charactors. giving actors the chance to determine what their character is, especially after so long the risk is they let their own life over the last several decade skew their perspective of the character. like 7 of 9 in the trailer she looks like its just jeri ryan talking to patric stewart. she doesnt act at all like 7 of 9. sure time has passed but people dont change that much.

[@kennethbaker5223]

There were some initial talks with writers, but the only actor that will be involved in the writers room at all is Stewart. It's a slippery slope when you let actors dictate the direction of the character. Rick Berman and Michael Piller wouldn't even let writers on the set when they were showrunners for Star Trek. He knew that the actors would try to influence them.

Man the trailer was amazing. The return of Jean Luc-Picard, Seven of 9, and Data returning in this new series says it's going to be an interesting ride. The moderator sounds alot like John De Lancie especially with the voice. The new character looks similar to Seven of 9. I wonder could this new character be someone related to the Borg Queen. Could she be Jean-Luc daughter?

[@funguy8801]

​@@TaylorPrem Before his death, Data copied his memory engrams over to B-4. No doubt that plays some part in his return. Perhaps either B-4 (complete with all of Data's memories) has been upgraded to a more capable android (via some advanced/Borg tech), or they maybe found some way to overwrite Data's memory engrams from B-4 into Lore (Data's dismantled brother).

I love Sir Patrick! It's not enough that he's acted for 6 decades, bringing us Picard among other memorable characters---he has also done so with humility and humor, growing and changing without ever diminishing as he ages. This year, I will be just 5 years younger than he was when he first took on Picard in '87. Can I say, at 43, that I have the same energy and drive as that almost 80 year-old dude? Well, that's the goal. He's one person who inspires me toward that. ;-)

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

William Scott Gordon What's ironic is that Picard was 59 years old in Encounter at Farpoint because he was born in 2305 and that episode took place in 2364. Patrick still looks the same that he did 32 years ago but his voice is giving his age away; he sounds like the description of he gave of Picard's father in his final years in that one episode he was talking about his father was a very strong man in his youth and frail wisp of a man when he died.

[@devinaschenbrenner2683]

Data at least what did you expect hes dead. What we saw in the trail is prob a Holodeck

[@TimThomason]

That Data scene from the trailer was analyzed, and it seems he's wearing his Star Trek Nemesis uniform. So it's probably a flashback or hallucination or something.

[@TimThomason]

@@mariop8101 Per Brent Spiner (he might be lying), B-4 is the android parts in the drawer, but the scene with Picard, where they are playing cards and he's wearing a First Contact uniform (and refers to Picard as "Captain") is him as Data. It's probably a flashback, a holodeck program or a daydream sequence.

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

If it's not a flashback then it's safe to assume that it's an updated B-4. After 20 years of continuing cybernetic research including some or all of Dr. Soong's lost research combined with 20 years of medical research into the humanoid mind, Starfleet was able to copy everyone's memory that was in contact with Data and upload it into B-4/Data II. This is my opinion and the easiest and simplest way to explain the situation and move on. After just re-watching Encounter at Farpoint I believe the writers could've skipped all the dialog from Data not knowing what snoop meant and all the other instances when someone has to explain to Data in simple Dick & Jane instructions the most basic of expressions and so forth; fortunately a writer remembered the Enterprise has computers and Data began referring to that instead of being schooled by the likes of Wesley on human emotion and such. I always thought Data should've been much more versed in human emotion since he went to the Academy and other ship assignments and promotions like real humans and should've picked up from them the basics instead of being a simple idiot until he got to the Enterprise about 10 years later. I'm pretty sure when he was first activated/reactivated he was brought up to speed and by the time he went to the Academy he was functioning at the equivalent adult/18 year old level.

@ IG REMAN Gaming I agree and I hope they stick with unaltered canon from the TOS/TNG timelines and totally disregard anything from the prequels and reboots that contradict anything originally established. Also, I hope they avoid all time travel, alternate universe, holodeck failures, and other such scenarios because professional writers regardless of background should be able to write convincing stories without having to rely on such used and abused storylines to prop-up their writing.
